Dave,

I am still building my first coil, but here are some basic tips:



> Two .03uf 35KV Maxwell caps in series for .015 -at- 70KV


You *could* make an MMC if you are willing to pt out more money.



> 14 turn .25 inch copper tubing secondary, adjustable tap, 15 degree saucer


> shaped with strike rail


Whenever you refer to this, it is the "Primary coil" a good idea would be to
put to OD of the coil.


> 6 inch thin wall PVC primary with 1000 turns 24 gauge magnet wire


This is the secondary... you might want to include the height along with
width.

That's just about all I have to say... most of it is just syntax. Hehe, hope
this helps,

Ben
